Sup Guys,

I just got the 4-point brace too. Here's some pics. Just a word of warning for those who will install it at home: use a jack to support the front subframe because when I unbolted the bolts, the subframe nearly dropped on my head!

I also got the rear braces. Check them out.

Looks good. Did you notice a big difference in terms of handling?

Yeap, you're right. There is no rear brace listed for our cars. They are listed for a "Camry 02 (ACV36R)". Apparently there's 2 versions of the gen5 Camry in Asia and the ACV36R happened to have the exact same rear subframe as our gen4 Camry/gen1 Solara. I stared at the picture on UR's website for awhile before deciding to take the chance and buy them. They fit perfectly just as I had hoped. I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up before I tried them myself.

I bet that rear sway bar will fit our cars too. The part numbers are on the following pic from UR's site.

I just finished installing them over the weekend. I'll test them on Monday since my commute to work is 80 miles (1.5 hours) so that's plenty of time and distance to get a good feel for them.

All of these stiffening pieces are just coming out of the woodwork. With some proper marketing, they could be selling these like hotcakes.
